Dear editor, Why does Napa feel the need to be different? I am referring to the article, “Design for CVS on Imola includes murals, barn doors” (Feb. 22) about the new CVS pharmacy store that is coming to Napa. With 6,300 stores, why should the Napa store get barn doors and corrugated siding? Napa is a city, not some small town with a population of 500 or less. Is Napa also going to demand haystacks inside and outside of the store to more complete the rustic, “agro-industrial” style?

I have heard that Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal did not end the Great Depression, that it was really World War II. This is partly true. However, World War II was, in itself, a gigantic stimulus package.

It is thought by some that one of the amazing powers of government is that it can “stimulate” the economy through spending. For instance, the president said recently that the federal government is the only entity left in America with the resources to get the economy moving again.

Dear editor, We want to encourage people to support our fine Napa businesses during these economic times.

Dear editor, Regarding the playing fields at Justin-Siena High School: During the fundraising and construction of this project, the message was very clear that this facility would be used by the community, as well as the students at Justin-Siena.
